This week’s Uncanny Avengers had the most blatant tease inside the pages of Marvel Comics for the upcoming AXIS event, with Alex “Havok” Summers permanently “disfigured,” and the Red Skull launching his campaign, putting his “S-Men” to work.

So today’s AXIS #1 teaser from Marvel is clearly following up on that. It’s the Red Skull and the sentence, “You’ll welcome this cleansing, Alex.” It seems Red Skull has plans directly in place for Havok, and will be targeting him in particular. With rumors that the Inversion in act two of AXIS will affect the younger Summers, it sure seems like they could be true.
